Automatic installation for Travis CI (or any other CI)

Jozef Mlich

What is recommended way to install Qt in Windows based CI? Will it be working with future versions?

Auto-depoying guide suggests AppVeyor CI but it doesn't include install of Qt.

Chocolatey Qt packages seems to be outdated https://chocolatey.org/search?q=Qt

Wireshark has dropped windows from its tests https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/commit/44407c16fcf085b811caf5bc33c7667b2b354fc6#diff-354f30a63fb0907d4ad57269548329e3

And other projects are including Qt Account credentials into public git repository https://github.com/semlanik/qtprotobuf/

There is also Another Qt installer(aqt) https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall . It looks as best solution so far. Would you recommend something else?

Travis CI - Ubuntu:

Stephan Binner is your best friend. Add the relevant ppa to your sources and you can use apt-get to install Qt.
Example:

matrix:
  fast_finish: true
  include:
  - name: Ubuntu Build
    os: linux
    dist: bionic
    group: stable
    services:
        - xvfb
    compiler: gcc
    addons:
      apt:
        sources:
        - ubuntu-toolchain-r-test
        - sourceline: 'ppa:beineri/opt-qt-5.14.2-bionic'
        update: true
        packages:
        - qt514base
        - qt514tools
        - gcc-9
        - g++-9
        - libc6-i386
        - libgl-dev
        - libgl1-mesa-dev
        - mesa-common-dev
    script:
        - /opt/qt514/bin/qt514-env.sh
        - CXX="g++-9"
        - CC="gcc-9"
        - mkdir ./build
        - cd ./build
        - cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ../
        - cmake --build .

Travis - MacOS

Homebrew
Example:

  - name: MacOS
    os: osx
    osx_image: xcode11.3
    compiler: clang
    addons:
      homebrew:
        packages:
        - qt
        update: true
    script:
        - mkdir ./build
        - cd ./build
        - cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ../
        - cmake --build .

Appveyor - Windows

Qt comese pre-installed
Example:

before_build:
- set SOURCEDIR=%cd%
- call "C:\Qt\5.13\msvc2017\bin\qtenv2.bat"
- cd /D %SOURCEDIR%
- call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat"
build_script:
- mkdir .\build 
- cd .\build
- cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ../
- cmake --build .

You can use these 2 scripts I am using as full examples: Appveyor/Travis CI

@VRonin I ended up with following .travis.yml

os: windows
language: C++
env: PATH=/c/Python38:/c/Python38/Scripts:$PATH
before_install:
#  - choco install -y visualstudio2017buildtools
#  - choco install -y visualstudio2017-workload-vctools
  - choco install  python --version 3.8.0
  - python -m pip install --upgrade pip
  - python -m pip install aqtinstall
  - python -m aqt install --outputdir /c/Qt 5.14.2 windows desktop win32_msvc2017
script:
  - mkdir build
  - cd build
  - cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:\Qt\5.14.2\msvc2017" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DDEPLOY_QT_LIBRARIES=ON ..
  - cmake --build .
  - cp *.qm ./Debug
  - 7z a -tzip editor.zip -r *
deploy:
  provider: releases
  skip_cleanup: true
  api_key: $GITHUB_TOKEN
  file: editor.zip
